Tor

Tor is an encrypted anonymising network that makes it harder to intercept internet communications, or see where communications are coming from or going to.

In order to use the WikiLeaks public submission system as detailed above you can download the Tor Browser Bundle, which is a Firefox-like browser available for Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux and pre-configured to connect using the anonymising system Tor.

Tails

If you are at high risk and you have the capacity to do so, you can also access the submission system through a secure operating system called Tails. Tails is an operating system launched from a USB stick or a DVD that aim to leaves no traces when the computer is shut down after use and automatically routes your internet traffic through Tor. Tails will require you to have either a USB stick or a DVD at least 4GB big and a laptop or desktop computer.

Tips

Our submission system works hard to preserve your anonymity, but we recommend you also take some of your own precautions. Please review these basic guidelines.

1. Contact us if you have specific problems

If you have a very large submission, or a submission with a complex format, or are a high-risk source, please contact us. In our experience it is always possible to find a custom solution for even the most seemingly difficult situations.

2. What computer to use

If the computer you are uploading from could subsequently be audited in an investigation, consider using a computer that is not easily tied to you. Technical users can also use Tails to help ensure you do not leave any records of your submission on the computer.

3. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

1. Do not talk about your submission to others

If you have any issues talk to WikiLeaks. We are the global experts in source protection – it is a complex field. Even those who mean well often do not have the experience or expertise to advise properly. This includes other media organisations.

2. Act normal

If you are a high-risk source, avoid saying anything or doing anything after submitting which might promote suspicion. In particular, you should try to stick to your normal routine and behaviour.

3. Remove traces of your submission

If you are a high-risk source and the computer you prepared your submission on, or uploaded it from, could subsequently be audited in an investigation, we recommend that you format and dispose of the computer hard drive and any other storage media you used.

In particular, hard drives retain data after formatting which may be visible to a digital forensics team and flash media (USB sticks, memory cards and SSD drives) retain data even after a secure erasure. If you used flash media to store sensitive data, it is important to destroy the media.

If you do this and are a high-risk source you should make sure there are no traces of the clean-up, since such traces themselves may draw suspicion.

4. If you face legal action

If a legal action is brought against you as a result of your submission, there are organisations that may help you. The Courage Foundation is an international organisation dedicated to the protection of journalistic sources. You can find more details at https://www.couragefound.org.

The Syria Files

Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.

List-Name

I am Mohamed Alshaikh Bahrainian Citizen based in Libya

I am Mohamed Alshaikh Bahrainian Citizen based in Libya as business associate and personal Assistant to Mr. Saif Al-Islam who was arrested 20th November 2011 with two of his Aids while trying to flee to Niger Republic by the National Transaition
Government who over throw the late Colonel Gadaffi Government after the 9 months war.

Before his arrest, we have been able to move the sum of euros40Million and the sum of $68Million
,I am the managing director of Nest oIL which was owned by Gadaffi Family, Dat El Imad Complex 9Tower ??“ Ground Floor, Tripol, Libya and a financial advisory to Goldman Sachs. I am in contact with you to enter into a mutual agreement vis a vis an sum
total fund above belonging to the Late Colonel Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddaf family the late Leader of Libya. It will be recalled that the late ruler after loosing international recognition in connection with the Libyan uprising was killed On 20
October, 2011 by the National Transitional Council (NTC) after he has failed to relinquish power for a peaceful transition to democracy in Libya and surrender to international community.

In a meeting with Goldman Sachs executives, it was confirmed that 98% of Gaddafi's $1.3bn investment has been lost while the British government has announced that ?€20 billion in liquid assets has been confiscated and the US treasury officials confirmed
it has seized another $32 billion in cash.

I am seizing this opportunity to liaise with you, but it is base only on professionalism, to claim the euros40Million and the sum of $68Million which has been deposited in the secured vault which will be discussed and disclose to you. The funds were
deposited secretly as the late ruler confided in me as a renowned financial advisor in Libya. I have therefore taken full control of funds using my own discretion to avoid seizure by the international community and Libyan National Transition Council. I am
currently in the desert Boarder between Libya and Niger Republic since I was known to be very close friend/associate by the NTC to know if they can find out about sum of money they beleive I know about the family of late Gadaffi.

Due to my position with the Gadadaffi Family and Goldman Sachs, I cannot claim the funds in my name; neither can my close associate do, as the international community is on deck to trace all funds belonging to the late ruler. But the aforementioned sum is
100% safe with the vault as it was deposited with my name as our security funds during the war in Libya. all the legal documents backing up the funds for claim will be provided and secured. One thing is certain, this project is 100% risk free as all you
need do is open communication with me to claim the funds as a representative of me with a power of attorney which will be prepared by a renowned attorney and signed by a competent court of Jurisdiction.If you can follow the news of regarding to the Libya
Government official who smuggled the sum of euros980Million to Niger, $660,000Million usd and One truck of Loaded Gold and Diamond to Niger Republic where they want to seek Asylum, If you are following the news you can see that everybody is ta
Be rest assured that there is no single risk over this transaction as everything is being perfected and currently am the only person that knows where the fund and the gold was lodged, even the son of Gadaffi Saif does not know the current position of the
fund and the gold, so be rest assured you are free to work with me and no problem and risk involved but we need to work it out quick. You can watch press TVA or Aljazeera TV for more information for you to understand and comprehend me properly.

If you are interested and possessed the managerial ability to handle project of this magnitude, I have worked out a sharing formula 40% of the total sum will be for you, while 60% will be for me as the principal. Please send by email your telephone so we
can discuss the modalities of operation in this project.
